Modern Motorcycles! BMW Motorrad Autonomous R 1200 GS

While autonomous cars are nothing new to the news feed, autonomous motorcycles are a different subject. The good folks over at BMW Motorrad have been hard at work developing an autonomous motorcycle to protect riders. Well, today we get a look at the BMW Motorrad Autonomous R 1200 GS. This sleek and functional design was recently put to the test at the winding Mirmas test track and successfully conquered the course.

The motorcycle looks a bit strange riding around the track on its own, accelerating and turning on its own, while leaning and stopping without any guidance. The main purpose of the tech is to give motorcycles the ability to assist the driver in avoiding dangerous situations and collisions. This would certainly change things when it comes to riding on the road and would open motorcycles to a whole new range of people.
